Damn good at bonking ads though. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago are you sure you didn't forget to install the filter list? it's not on by default permalink fedilink source parent [–] markz@suppo.fi [S] 18 points 3 months ago* (1 child) Did you enable everything?

Just enable one of them, and these banners will be gone. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] flint@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago Aah, you are right.
